Now I just use a good set of headphones for my desktop. My very old creative labs 2.1 set still functions after maybe 20 years if I need to listen without phones.

Having said that, I much prefer the older sets (with the round 6-pin DIN style connector) they were 240W as opposed to these newer ones at 200W, but the only way you're finding those is used and the aforementioned DIN plug has its own set of issues.

They're still good "value" "pc" speakers, but they really aren't anything great. They're better than most soundbars and compact speaker sets that people use though. I still like them for the nostalgia factor, since I purchased my original v.2-400 speakers in 2000, but that's because they were a huge step up from some computer Cambridge Soundworks cubes I used before them - not because they do anything really well.

These are a nice compromise between low price and high performance, not home theater quality but perfectly fine and acoustically pleasing for a bedroom or office as a complement to your primary audio system. Not meant to rattle the windows, but good enough for most tastes.
And from the comments on that video, here's another (timestamped) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7...GR8
There's also schematics out there for these and a lot of community help for them, hope those help!

I have three complete working sets of 5.1 Ultras, and a new-old-stock original v.2-400 for some "retro" pcs on individual Ikea Jerker desks, and new parts from Henry Koch sitting in boxes ready to repair and/or upgrade the amplifiers for better reliability. I've probably used and recommended/setup 30 various sets of promedias over the years for various reasons, so I don't hate them. They are what they are - a V-curve speaker system with some boom, on the cheap new. Something the masses like the sound of.
